My phone vibrates at my hip, and I consider not answering when I see the FaceTime call. Time is ticking, and these two could keep me on the phone forever.
“Hey, guys, I’m kind of in a hurry.”
“Oh, we know all about your hurry!” Cruz fans his face. “I will never complain about those video cameras again.”
“Oh my God!” My heart drops. “You didn’t.”
“We did, and we’re proud. Didn’t know you had it in you, sweets,” Alex praises.
“How embarrassing.”
“It’s not like we haven’t seen him coming and going morning, noon, and night since Sunday.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be vacationing? Who checks their feed on vacation?”
“The minute we saw him pick the lock, we set reminders.”
I already knew they saw what happened Sunday morning from the barrage of text messages. It was my plan to hold off on the details until their return, but apparently, those damn cameras have provided a play-by-play.
“If you know he’s here, you know why I have to go. We have a date tonight.”
“We heard.” Cruz bobs his head.
“How—”
I’m interrupted by a knock at the door. “Come in.”
Ford walks in, handing me a glass of wine. He takes in the scene and grins. “That Cruz and Alex?”
I nod.
“Tell them I got their message, and thanks.”
He brushes his lips across my temple and leaves, shutting me back in.
“What message?” I squeak, going back to the screen.
“She’s got it bad.” Cruz ignores my question.
“We already knew that,” Alex gloats knowingly.
“What text???”
“Wear your lavender halter sundress with the bronze slides,” Cruz advises.
“What text?” I repeat, my voice mimicking my shaky nerves.
“Trust us on your outfit and you’ll find out.”
I’m about to lose my mind when both of them wave and the call ends.
“Shit, shit, shit.”
I grab the wine, savoring the cool, crisp flavor. There’s something different about the flavor—it’s familiar but not familiar at the same time.
Quit obsessing over the wine! A little voice in my head screams, setting me into action.
My professional instincts kick into gear, and I’m ready in record time. Even after trying four different outfits, I went with the guys’ recommendation. Apparently, they know more about my nightly plans.
